Description

The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

Published by R.W. Northey from 1894-04-14 to 1895-03-02; Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Co. from 1895-03-09 to 1896-04-04 and 1901-01-17 to 1905-12-30; Atkins and Smith from 1896-04-11 to 1898-03-26; Atkins and Campbell from 1898-04-09 to 1899-05-13; and B.R. Campbell from 1899-05-20 to 1901-01-10.

' . c At-the Kimgstoh, Ont., city council meeting' last week, in discussing' the advisability of sending a delegation to the waterways convention at Toronto, Ald.'Gaskin, manager of the Montreal Transportation Company, stated, that there was not money enough in the Bank of England, the United States and.Canada to make a"20 foot waterway between Kingston and . Montreal. ��������� A quick telegram, which crossed the American continent and. Atlantic ocean, is reported from Victoria. The C.P.R. telegraph, people forwarded a dispatch from their Victoria office to Manchester,. England, r and delivered the reply all inside of ninety seconds, just a,minute and a half.

Farmers' day at the Toronto Exhibition was the largest in the history of that institution, there being 80,000 visitors and the receipts amounting to over 819,000. This beats the record by several thousand dollars. On Monday, Citizens' day, 1891, the figures were $14;399.55 ; for the same day in 1892, tbe-^receipts were $16,001.35; for Farmers' day, Wednesday, 1891, the sum was 16,819.00; for Wednesday, Farmers'.day in 1892, the figures were $16,389.60.' * ' At Clinton Assizes last week there was a large number of Indians���������quite! 400���������attracted by the trial of Red Bluff Charley. The facts of_the case were stated as follows: "\ ������ . ' Last July Red Bluff Charley, who is an industrious, hard-working and popular Indian, returned to his home "at Dog Creek, 20 miles from Clinton, and caught Johnnie, another Indian, in a compromising, position with his wife. Charley happened to^ be1 armed, and following his first impulse, shot Johnnie dead. He was arrested and made a full statement of the facts and the grand jury returned an indictment for murder. The court then. began an inr quiry as to the character of the prisoner and itled tooneof theniostrem-rrkable' scenes that ever took place in a British Columbia court of justice. The Crown had accepted the offer of the defence to plead guilty of manslaughter. Twenty- two chiefs from Chile citin, Bonaparte, Alkali Lake and other places filed into* court and lined up by the box to, hear the judge's admonition to the prisoner in passing sentence. The wife who had caused the trouble was brought in and in answer to a question said she wanted her husliand to lie free.r '��������� Six of the chiefs were then heard." All delivered orations in. their native tongue, which were interpreted by J. N. Brown, a *.weU educated-Indian*: of vJ>og Creekv They extolled - "the good \ qualities "of Charley, but said every ni'an should be virtuous and good and seek heaven, and they were content to accept'the decree of the court. They would receive the sentence of the court as a mandate from, heaven and expressed the belief that the court could not err in its judgment. Justice Walkem complimented them on their noble words and sentiments "and told them th.-it the law gave them "equal protection' with the white man. In view of the high character of the accused and the extreme provocation the penalty was made 18 months' imprisonment. At the close of the trial Charley took'leave of his friends and the scene was a'most impressive one. At the door of the jail he was cheered, [from our -cobrebpondent.] i Tacoma, Sept. 25th. Cassassa's famous Midwinter Fair band is now the Interstate Fair trand, opening its engagement last Saturday night. Two regular concerts will be rendered daily, and on special days other music will he given also. Saturday was British Columbia day, one of the most notable occasions of the whole season. A better day for,the opening could not be had. The fair was crowded with visitors, not only from British Columbia, but all over the Northwest, and they gave the band a most enthusiastic welcome. British Columbia' day proved the greatest special day of the fair season so far. It was successful in every way. The arrangements ��������� were carried out perfectly, and about 3,000 subjects of the Queen returned to their homes after the, celebration was over, pleased with 'the fair, pleased with Tacoma, and profound admirers of the energy, push and perseverance shown by the people who conceived and carried out the fair project. Two large excursions were run from British Columbia. One from Vancouver on the steamer Yose- mite brought about 1,500. The steamer Islander, from Victoria, brought even a larger party. On board were Lieut.- Goverhor Dewdney and Mrs. Dewdney, the Mayor of Victoria and city officials, the president of the B.C. Agricultural Association, the president of the-Nan- aimo Board of Trade, Lieut.-Col. Prior,. M.P., commanding , the B.C., Garrison Artillery, and other distinguished persons. ' The headquarters band of the B. C. G. A. accompanied" the party, and the band of No. 5 company, B. C. G. A. went with the excursion from Vancouver. These two bands, which are both1' excellent musical organizations, gave concerts during the day in * the liberal arts building and elsewhere, about the ' grounds. ' '" - .' ' ' ' (1 '; The,B._C. visitors had & taste of Ta- comaV hospitality even before" they reached the city. A reception committee went out in a special boat,1 and met the incoming excursionists about ten miles up the sound and escorted them to the wharf. The entertainment of the visitors during their stay was properly looked after. The ladies were'eu- tertajood by vth������ Ladipn'.Auiciliiisy of Tacoma~Chamber of Commerce. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is giving away free tickets, of admission to all children in* the Northwest for'the paper's celebration. 'A special boat load of youngsters from Seattle will be sent over at the P-I's expense! - v \ Four days are to be given up to the celebration now being arrauged by the Grand Army of the Republic. They are October 1, 2, 3 and 4. , The" event promises to be the biggest gathering of old soldiers ever held in the North- ' COINAGE OF. SILVER,IN,THE U. S. Since the Cleveland administration came into power 1,957,223. standard silver dollars have been coined,, of which 520,070 have been seigniorage. - ��������� Prior to ��������� the .1st July, 1890, silver dollars to the amount of $38,318,294 were coined from the bullion purchased. The so-called gain in the:, seigniorage arising from this coinage * was $0,687,- S03, which was paid into tho,treasury as miscellaneous receipts',,leaving $29,- 480,461 to be held as a fund to provide for the redemption of treasury notes as provided by law. At the beginning of tho present administration someof this $29,480,401 was still in the treasury, and standard silver dollars 'to the amount of $1,057,223 have iieen coined since that time. Of this last sum, however, $520,079 was seigniorage, leaving $1,077,144 to be held in the treasury. It appears, therefore, that the whole coinage under the Act has been $31,- 005,487, and that the amount to be held iu the, treasury for the redemption of - purchases,was $30,557,605. Of this sum $4,121,000 has been used ih redemption of the notes and that amount has been retired and cancelled. As shown above, there were held ih the treasury at the beginning of this: administration* $20,480,461 in silver coined from bullion purchased under the Act of July 14,1800. 'Notwithstanding the fact that $1,057,223 has been, coined since that time, there is now on* hand only $26,180,187. , .

POACHING IN-ALASKA. west. FREE LUMBER. v The placing of lumber on the free list by the United States Tariff Bill has not as, yet lieen of aiiy great benefit to Canadian lumbermen. The Toronto Monetary ,Thnes 'says': "American buyers show little or no inclination to purchase' stock, and are making attempts to break our market quotations. The transactions made are*upon a basis of values slightly lower than the sales at'the close of last year. The" better grades of lumber, however, are weak stock-at the moment, and"* sales can only be effected by a considerable shading in prices. The operations of American buyers have so long been of a hand-to-mouth character that the lumber yards in the eastern States must contain light stocks, and it is but reasonable to expect a good" trade next spring or later in the fall.

Goldsmid, the well-known'ex-manager of the Vancouver Opera House, died last Saturday night in St. Joseph's Hospital, after a long and painful illness caused by cancer in the stomach. Mrs. Goldsmid, summoned all the way from England, arrived just in time to be with her husband in his dying moments. Deceased was in his 4:*nd year, and was the son of Sir Frederick K. J. Goldsmid, Cart. The funeral touk j-ln'co on Wediieidav. ������ ,1 v The patrolling of the Behring Sea against pelagic sealing has cost the United States Government over $400,- 000 this season, while not a single legal seizure has been made. The only vessels captured were the Victoria sealers Wanderer and Favorite, both of which have been discharged. Great Britain had but one vessel in the .sea, while the United States had nine. In a private letter from Washington, the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Herbert, has expressed a determination to send only the same number of revenue cutters next season as do the British. A bluejacket named Reece, of H.M. S. Royal Arthur, at Esquimalt, was killed on Saturday evening by a companion named- Perry,- who playfully discharged at him a loaded . shotgun. Perry did not know it was loaded, and he is now distracted with grief. Midshipmen Allington and Napier of the ship had been on a hunting expedition in the afternoon, and - When they returned about 7 o'clock the guns were given to Perry, who is a " sideboj'," to take below." Having laid one down on a chest,-he pointed the other, at his friend Reece, and with tthe remark, "Look out, or I will shoot you,"-pulled the'trigger. Reece received' the,,full charge of gunshot in his left breast and died instantly, the terrible wound almost cleaving his heart. He was about 18 years of age and Perry is a year older. The boys entered the naval training ship at tbe same time and have been fast friends ever since. - An inquiry into the circumstances connected with the accident was held on the 'ship, and steps were taken with a view to prevent a repetition of the carelessness ��������� by which the loaded gun was brought aboard. ' Mr. Jos. Murray, fish' commissioner for Alaska, who has just returned from the north, gives a gloomy account of .the seal and salmon fisheries in * that' country, he says : "Unless some step's are taken there"will shortly he no fur-, bearing animals in Alaska. The ad-' venturers who flock in- there are rapid- lyexterininating the animals, and the companies who are canning salmon are no better.- Fox skiiis range in valuet "from $10 to $200.- A party' goes on an! island with",a supply of��������� strychnine." Bait is poisoned, and the' foxes eat it. rThey are then skinned and a stake is made. The carcasses 'are**'eaten by crows, and the> birds die. Foxes that missed the poisoned bait eat the poison-1 "ed birds, and in^shoi** time there is" -not a fox on-tfle ��������� jlsland-i^ The seal fish-' eries are fast playing 'out. Five "years agof there was no1* trouble in getting 100,000 skins. This year, though "allowed to take 20,000 skins, ��������� the company succeeded in getting about 16,000. The salmon fishers spread their nets at the mouths of the rivers up which the fish, endeavor to go ih order to spawn. Every one is'taken and as a result there are no young, fish. Unless, something is done soon Alaska, instead of being a source of revenue to the' government, will be unable to support even ��������� its native population." ��������� Nancy ' ' ' " TURF' NOTES.4 ...

Ba-wdeu,'of Kingston, read - a paper ou " The Nationalization of Mines." Mr. Sawden advanced the theory - that all mining operation's in the country should be- conducted by the Government under a system of day labor, and with the object of providing employment rather than of making a profit out of the industry. He submitted a draft of a bill, which' he maintained should be passed for the attainment of this object.' Several* of those present took part in the* discussion which- followed," but the views set forth in tlie paper met' with little encouragement ' ' , - , Continuous advertising, even if it be only a small announcement, pays the advertiser the best in the long run. Spasmodic advertising, like "spasms"of any kind, is unsatisfactory. To secure the very best results, year in and year out, you must keep your name and busineas before the public.

If the Dominion Government intends hanging back until the decision of the Privy Council is rendered in the Farwell case, there is little likelihood of a commencement being made this year. FREE TRADE. -; , - , The Province, which, considering its; brief existence, has taken an astonish- " ingly prominent position amongst the Pacific Coast journals, ably expounds every question it takes up.' Not the least of these questions is that of free trade, to which "it devotes a whole page in reply to the rather undecided opinions put forth by this paper three weeks ago. ' Like the Jew apostrophizing the dead porker, one might say : " Verily, thou almost persuadest me to be a��������� free-trader." But between the theoretical adducements put forward by the' Province and the actual working of the free trade, doctrine there is a very great difference. Actual experience of' its working1 in England has shown that it injures as many as it benefits. What, has become of the- lace factories at. ' Tiverton, Honiton. and Nottingham ; the glove factories at Biddeford and, Torrington ; the ribbon industry at ���������Coventry; the carpet manufactories at, Axminster? All killed by the admission of cheaper made goods from the, continent, which could undersell them in their own market. , Free trade in England drove British iron manufacturers to the United States back in the 70's, and hundreds of British arti- zans and craftsmen followed their employers' 'example;���������left a free trade country for a protected one. We,must, admit, however, that at that time the United States,were the English ironmasters' best customers, and tint the American tariff bore heavily on British .iron. But .if this docs not actually prove that England lost these manufacturers through free trade it proves' that the United States gained them by protection. Free-traders say if one industry is destroyed and workmen are thrown out of employ, let them turn their hand to something else. Only an . anarchist or socialibt can be so'callous towards his fellow-man as to utter such an inhuman sentiment. .A man cannot turn his hand to anything ' ,else when he is pa.st middle age. at least not with competence enough to earn'a living for himself and family. While believing that free trade would !>enent our province,' because we have no m.muf.icturies to injure, we .see no chance of getting it. Neither Mr. Laurier, Mr. Fruser nen any other gentleman of the party could explain whence the country would derive its revenue if the custom-house wete discarded. Of the ������30,000,000 of revenue received by the Dominion -?'20,000,- 000 are rai-ed from custom-, fluids. How would the Liberals make up this deficit, two-thirds of the whole revenue 1 We have no wealthy class here as in England, and a Uk on luxuries we mid hi ing in but a wrfiall fraction e.t" the twenty million dollars a year. A personal or direct tix would be- even more objectionable than the pipsent mode of raising revenue. will not be* protected at .ill *J Wil" th'' small amount of duty between %) pel cent, and '!5 per cent.' ropre.-'Oiif the whole of their profits ?_ That they have hitherto been able to eompet" in the nun-keif of the world is Ulustr.ited by the fact that. M.is*.e^y-Tl,u-i-is machiiies are used in Kninland and Australia. Ti a reduction of only 15 percent, in ihe duty on agricultural machineiy is sufficient to drivtt :i Canadian iii.inuiac- turer out. of business, what becomes of the frre.it outcry against permitting the bloated manufacturer' to become -a, millionaire at -the: expense oi* tlie poor fanner? Again, if a 15 per cent, le- duction will .-.hut up a Canadian business, what would be the result, it tho whole tariif were lemoved? While the Uni. ed States will welcome the 31a* s<?y- Ilarris Co. with open arms, the United SUites alien law will prevent th*1 O m.-i- di.-in employes from going over there to work lor the firm. Only Americans need apply, and the poor* Canadian .workmen lnust fiiid something else to do this coming winter���������or starve. -Otu Government should make some eon- cessions, even to the placing of all i.iw material on the free list.

The .'reason is that Post-Office Inspector Fletcher is a relic'of a bygone era and cannot understand the situation of to-day. He should be placed in the Victoria' museum 'and labelled' "An ^Antediluvian Mossback." As a post-ollice inspector he's a failure. The arrangements for opening 'the Trout Lake olliee have been left in tlie hands of this f.iraw.u official.

SAMUEL HILL'S CASE.
Kamloops Assizes will open on Monday before Mr. Justice Walkem. The
case of Samuel Hill will come up tot-
trial. It will be remembered that Hill
shot an Indian named Cultus Jim at
Galena Bay, Arrow Lake, on the 11th
of May last. The Indian, who was accompanied by his squaw, ordered Hill
to vacate some laud, claiming that it
belonged to his tribe.- As the'Indian
became very aggressive, Hill took -up
his rifle and ordered him off." Cultus
Jim took his rifle from - the squaw,
pointed it at Hill and both "fired 'to-'
gether. The'Indian was hit, hut--ran
away, while the bullet from his rifle
almost grazed Ffill's neck. Hill'fired
again and the Indian fell. dead. The
coroner's "jury brought* in a verdict of
justifiable homicide, but 'early in June
Jlill was ,'arrosted, brought -to-r Rtvel--
stoke aiul tried before' Justices Fr.i.-k-r
and Coursiei'. The squaw gave evidence, and after a lengthy-hearing-
Hill was committed to the assizes
whioh;was to have been held on June
I5th', but was postponed. It was not
until the end or June that Hill was released on bail���himself ih $500 and four
business ineii of the town became his
sureties in $500 each., Adeline*; the
squaw, has been retained in the tow n
over since, and -will give .evidence on
Monday.

inunrawnuuaiAH PAGE 4. THE KOOTENAY MAIL. THINGS SAID AND DONE ABOUT TOWN. [BY DIOGE.VES.J Probably few people are aware of the mpiance attaching to the wedding which took place here last Saturday morning. The bride and bridegroom bad never seen each other before the previous evening, when the young lady arrived in on the Pacific Express. The bridegroom came up from the Lower Kootenay metropolis by steamer on the previous Monday, and had put in the intervening days wandering around town with a mutual friend and picturing to himself the joys of wedded life, with now and then a flush of expectancy as to the good looks or otherwise of his coming bride. The'mutual friend in the cruse was Mr. William Starmer Smith, of Sunnyside, Victoria, who had written the young lady that he had a nice young man for her if she would come out, and also wrote in the same strain to his friend in Lower Kootenay. Both were willing, and a correspond- ' ence ensued.. Mr. Smith had been in town about ten days awaiting the arrival of the unacquainted lovers' from two opposite points of the compass, when, after introducing them to each other, he would' join their hands and say, "Bless you, my children, be happy!" The long journey across sea and land, commenced in fear and doubt, ended in bliss, here in Revelstoke. The young couple spent their honeymoon in town, ���������putting, up at tbe Victoria, and on Tuesday morning, left on the Lytton for down river and home.,,Conscious of having brought his philanthropic work to a successful termination Mr. Smith departed for his home Sunday night. ' * ' ,' *"* - < e* < I wonder some of our enterprising townsmen do not endeavour to try their hand at street lighting these wet, dark nights. An oil lamp on a post outside some of our business establish*, merits would not only be a^blessing to the wayfarer' stumbling along in the darkness, but would' also enhance the attractiveness of the store that adopted . it; ;'The. expense would -not be very great, as the lamps could be removed at closing time, say eleven' o'clock. ' After that' hour those who choose to be abroad should, like Diogenes, carry their own lantern. Ladies, especially, would .lie thankful' for such a , boon. Mr..Cowan, I see, has inaugurated the project by, a>ery good light, outside his officei;but as it is at,the far end of the street, where there is comparatively, little 'traffic after .dark, its benefits are not felt by the many.." How cheery- it .would look to see a. few street lamps dispersing-the gloom which pervades our town during the wet, dark nights which prevail here in the late fall and early ��������� winter. , Who of our business .men are going to be .public spirited enough to follow a good example? "��������� * * ' - . ' * , ��������� I see our ��������� ubiquitous townsman, Mr. Thomas Cadman, isLgoing around with a list of the various lot-owners in town for the purpose',* he says, of getting1 the correct numbers of the lots and the correct names of the owners. Further, he condescends to enlighten the curious by stating that the Government intends to collect taxes on all lots in the townsite. Asked as to the author of this bright idea, the genial Thomas says it is Mr. Smith. Smith 1 Had it been Brown, or Jones or Robinson one would not feel so contumacious over the matter. But Smith! So this Smith, whoever he is, thinks he' can collect taxes from land which people have paid for but cannot tell, whether they own it or not. Smith is a genius, there is no doubt about that. But this idea of taxing land which cannot be registered certainly lends color to the reiterated charges brought by the Opposition journals���������that the Provincial trensury in empty! John D.

The precedent set by tbe Dominion Government recently 3hould be followed by our citizens in this mutter We should combine to resist the imposition of taxes until the townsite dispute is settled and registration allowed. Then, and not till then, shall we l>e xlad to drop our nickels in Mr. Smith's assessment hat. The fact of the Government having allowed tbe tux on Hevelstoke lots to lapse for so many years because titles could not be registered is a strong reason why it should not he imposed nowt ���������us titles cannot lie registered yet. But tbe dispute may be settled within thirl ex t three months, and in that case there will not not remain the slightest objection to commence pitying taxes from the 1st of January next, and the over-astute Smith may work his little scheme without bloodshed. Otherwise let me advise Smith to read up the history of a certain Boston tea party. * ��������� ��������� Why is it that the Dominion officials are so apathetic in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the people of this district/, especially the Post-office pee> pie? A peyjt-office was granted to the Trout Lake City people some two or three months ago, arid C. IJ. Hume was appointed postmaster.
